Lonely Rock for the Blind

...

……

.........

At the station, Nekayashiki Haru sat up straight.

“…After you made your decision, did you feel a little changed?”

Yamada Ryo looked at Nekoyashiki Haru next to him and asked.

"...This is the first time I've ever been called a scumbag... Please understand my uneasiness."

“…Yeah, I understand.”

Yamada Ryo nodded.

“It has a rock and roll element.”

"what…"

Nekoyashiki Haru was suddenly stunned.

"what happened?"

Yamada Ryo looked at Nekayashiki Haru in confusion.

"...It's nothing, I just remembered that I secretly made up my mind to keep you away from the bad things of rock music..."

“…and now you’ve become a scumbag?”

Yamada Ryo tilted his head.

"Ah."

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"The three essentials of a band member... smoking, drinking, and womanizing."

Yamada Ryo raised a finger.

"You don't drink much, and you don't smoke, so you have to double your efforts in playing with women."

“…the band is terrible…”

Nekoyashiki Haru sighed.

"It's a shame you've already decided to become such a rotten person."

Yamada Ryo said to Nekoyashiki Haru.

"To be honest, I didn't expect you to make such a choice."

"... "

"After all, in my opinion... you are a relatively gentle person... Did you come up with such a radical choice yourself?"

“…For now…yes.”

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

"I can't choose anyone, nor can I run away and leave all of you sad and dejected. This is the only choice I have."

"...Ha...I could tell from the last time you gave up treatment..."

Yamada Ryo narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Nekayashiki Haru with a wicked smile.

"You...are you rational in small matters, but more emotional in big ones?"

"I guess so?"

"It's good, I don't hate it."

Yamada Ryo nodded.

“…By the way, Ryo, don’t you feel disgusted?”

Nekoyashiki Haru asked, quietly clenching his hands.

"what?"

"That is...when I said I wanted to be with everyone, didn't you feel disgusted with me?"

"... "

Yamada Ryo was silent.

"It stands to reason that there will be, after all..."

Nekayashiki Haru was interrupted by Yamada Ryo before he could finish his words.

"No, there won't be any, not now and not in the future."

Yamada Ryo grabbed Nekayashiki Haru's hand.

"You don't need to consider whether I hate you or not. You just need to try your best to please me and let me join your harem."

"... "

"I'll be watching you."

Yamada Ryo said seriously.

"…Hahaha…"

Nekoyashiki Haru suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at?"

Yamada Ryo tilted his head.

"Ah... I was just thinking, what you're saying now is really like what I would say to you in the past."

Nekoyashiki Haru closed his eyes.

"Thank you. Please watch it."

"Ah…"

Yamada Ryo chuckled and turned away.

However, their hands were still connected.

I didn't let go until I reached Goto Ichiri's house...

...

……

.........

ding dong~

"Ah! Here it comes."

Goto Michiyo walked towards the door and opened it.

Appearing before her were a black-haired boy and a blue-haired girl.

"Ah, it's you..."

Goto Michiyo blinked.

After all, last time, Nekayashiki Haru and Yamada Ryo were responsible for sending Goto Ichiri home after he lost his ability to move due to the excessive stimulation of the confession.

"Are you two here to look for Ichiri?"

Goto Michiyo asked with a smile.

Yamada Ryo nodded, while Nekayashiki Haru bowed nervously.

"Yes! I'll find one mile!"

“…Ah, don’t be nervous, she’s upstairs, go find her yourself…”

"Okay, okay, okay, okay!"

Nekoyashiki Haru nodded.

Yamada Ryo, who was behind him, stepped forward, grabbed Nekoyashiki Haru, and pulled him into the house.

"Ah, how about I help Nekoyashiki-kun..."

Goto Michiyo suggested.

"No, I'm fine."

Yamada Ryo turned around and said to Goto Michiyo with his head slightly lowered.

Then he pulled the cat, Yashiki Haru, and slowly walked to the second floor.

"Why are you so nervous?"

Yamada Ryo asked.

"...I'm definitely nervous...After all, Ichiri is the one I want to be with for life...I subconsciously get nervous in front of her parents..."

"... "

Yamada Ryo nodded.

"...I need to eat more...and I need to start combat training..."

"A gang fight involving more than four people?"

Yamada Ryo said thoughtfully.

“…I won’t die.”

Nekoyashiki Haru is determined.

Suddenly, a terrified wailing sound came from the room in front of me.

【Ua ...

【Hahahaha! I found the ghost sister! 】

Then came the laughter of children.

Nekoyashiki Haru was stunned for a moment, then quickly ran towards the source of the sound.

That was Goto Ichiri's voice.

boom!

His head banged against the door, and Nekoyashiki Haru ignored the headache and looked for the door handle.

"Sliding door."

Yamada Ryo walked over and said this, then opened the door.

Crash...

The door was pushed open.

Yamada Ryo opened his eyes slightly.

I saw a group of children surrounding the closet, led by Goto Jiri, and they were laughing at the soft-bodied creature found in the closet.

"Sister Ghost, come play with us!"

Goto Jiri opened his hands.

“No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no…”

Goto Ichiri's facial features began to shift.

"... "

Yamada Ryo raised an eyebrow.

Nekoyashiki Haru walked past Yamada Ryo and headed towards the source of Goto Ichiri's voice.

"what…"

Yamada Ryo stretched out his hand subconsciously, but quickly put it down.

"... "
